  2. Political Factors for Imperialism • French Imperialism was an effort to regain lost power then a continuation of previous success and an effort to retrieve Christian slaves. Nations were also in competition for colonial land to grow the empires. Colonies represented a nations wealth, position, and international power. Nationalism- loyalty and devotion to praise one’s nation above all others and to promote it’s culture and interests above other nations http://www.semp.us/publications/biot_reader.php?BiotID=487

  3. Jules Ferry • Born in 1832 , Prime Minister of France and principal founder of the French Secular School System. In 1880, he chose to be minister of foreign affairs, led to him thinking France should rebuild its colonial empire. Ferry launched this program in 1881, by sending an expeditionary force to Tunisia later to Senegal Guinea, Dahomey, the Ivory Coast and Gabon in Sub- Saharan Africa. People attempted to kill him, left him seriously wounded, remained in politics until death, and never returned the high office. http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Jules_Ferry

  4. Mission Civilisatrice & Racial Attitudes • France’s plan to bring about a cultural renaissance among the natives of Africa was called Mission Civilisatrice. It’s goal was to teach the “ subject populations how to live, according to authentic African traditions.” (Conflicted Missionaries). The indigenous populations were to be educated in rural schools set up in by the French Government. The French and other European nations believed themselves to be superior to others. Although slavery was outlawed in these colonies, the belief in racial superiority caused Africans to be brutally mistreated. http://antimalwaresuite.com/?id=06abQDYx

  5. Role Of French Military • In response to the FLN the French responded by bringing in more troops. In their dispute the French and the FLN both engaged in acts of terrorism against non-combatants. http://www.thefullwiki.org/Fusilier http://www.gohobbies.com/item/Italeri-Models/6872.html

  6. Berlin Conference • The Berlin Conference of 1884 through 1885 was organized by the chancellor of Germany to address political problems arising from European expansion into Africa. The purpose of the conference was to create a free- trade region in the Congo Basin and the neighboring areas. This would reduce disputes among European states. Europe failed to enterprise like they were supposed to and then Africa was divided into artificially created states which increased ethnic tensions. http://wikiflex.wikispaces.com/Africa+Review+Guide
